Pancetta & Red Onion Brussels Sprouts

Brussels sprouts and bacon is a classic combination. This recipe substitutes pancetta instead of bacon which gives the same savory/salty effect without having to worry about the quality of the bacon. And seriously now…if you are eating bacon (which I think is totally fine in some degree of moderation), you really want to think about buying high quality! Make friends with the meat vendor at your local farmer’s market, buy the really good stuff (such as from 5280 Meat or US Wellness meats. Also, Applegate Farms products are just about the best you can get in a commercial supermarket like Whole Foods)…you really want nitrate-free pork, raised in the best possible conditions. For an interesting take on bacon, check out the Whole9 Bacon Manifesto…good reading!

3. When the pancetta begins to brown, add in chopped onion and saute for a few minutes until it begins to soften.

4. Add cooked Brussels sprouts and cook for a few minutes until all flavors combine.

5. Splash with balsamic vinegar and season with black pepper.
